The motorcycle traction control (MTC) lowers the tightening torque in case of loss of trac-

the rear wheel may be desirable. Example: Offroad.

When motorcycle traction control is switched off, the rear wheel may spin during
high acceleration and on surfaces with low grip.
After the ignition is switched back on, the motorcycle traction control is enabled
again.
